During my 35 years, working in Palatine, I have done more for the residents than any of these rotten politician. When I see something wrong, I roll up my sleeves and try to correct em. Thats about the only thing that Quinn has said that makes sense. Little did I know, he, Madigen, Alvarez, federal judges and others, would approve of Palatine's Filth. I don't take kindly to a cop or whole village lying to my face, especially, in a court of law, protecting one of their own.

Mullins ran for state representative in 1992. In 1994 she ran for Cook County board, and in 1998 she ran for Water Reclamation District of Greater Chicago, Illinois senate in 2006 She lost all four bids.
She nearly lost her mayoral post to challenger Vito Manola, who got 6,384 votes, only 426 votes fewer than Mullins.
"Most of the time, people who want to help in their community help out by running for the school board or the council or some other way of giving back to the community, instead of being presumptuous that they can do the job of chief executive officer before they've had any experience," Mullins said. "Maybe he has a different take on it."
Mullins sought the GOP nomination for an Illinois Senate seat in 2006 but lost a contentious primary to Matt Murphy.
Baker took trucks to where Schwantz worked for a weigh in..... before or after shake downs, your guess is as good as mine. Schwantz is running for mayor, had his kick off, at lamps (the Saturday buck a shot place). Looks like a team player.Byline: Michael Puente
Because of the craziness that came during last week's election, I didn't get a chance to write my weekly column.
And, despite the election being more than a week old, I just can't resist making one last mention of it, especially because of the race for Palatine mayor. Truth be told, not too many folks I spoke to gave bagel king Vito Manola much chance at unseating the unsinkable Rita Mullins for mayor.
But a just a few hours after the polls closed April 5, it was apparent Mullins was in a fight for her mayoral life.
